Alien Stage 1 | Mizi

You watch as the contestant singer, Sua, falls to the ground. Her opponent- Mizi- watches, pupils shrunken, and eyes widened. Disbelief? Grief? Shock? All of the above?

Her legs buckled as the guards lowered their weapons. One of them clipped the collar back on Mizi. You took a deep breath. You had no clue how you were going to approach her, but you had a job to do as her assigned manager. You felt sympathy for her. After all, humans and your species had relatively similar features. It was also rumored between your coworkers, who were also managers that each managed a singing human, that Mizi and Sua were more than just childhood playmates. They were more than best friends. Although it was just speculation, you had a feeling that the rumors were true. After all, human or not, what sentient life form wouldn’t react in the same way as she did if not for love?

You cautiously walked up to Mizi, bracing yourself before you have to get her off the stage. “Get up there,” a guard nudged you.
